- Voxile spin-off game Hardhats announced - 30 April 2026
VoxRay will be launching a co-op only “build plan” focused demo “Hardhats” at June Steam Next Fest (free to Voxile owners)We have been experimenting with a new kind of gameplay based on the Voxile engine that centers around co-operatively building elaborate build plans. We’re going to launch this as a separate game from Voxile, since it is entirely focused on this “building a lego set with friends” gameplay, and does not include the traditional adventure/quest and procedural survival worlds you can experience in Voxile.While building will be your “main quest” in this game, you still have to collect resources and fend off monsters, augmented with more co-op and building specific gameplay features!Voxile will continue to receive the content that fits that game better, in fact we have quite a few worlds lined up for Voxile that we will be releasing. Worlds we’ve teased before like Dead Wat…
